Is Vitiligo Hereditary?
If you have vitiligo, you might wonder if it is hereditary. Evidence suggests vitiligo disease might have a genetic component. Approximately 25-50% of those with vitiligo skin have a relative with vitiligo patches. 6% might have a sibling who has vitiligo spots. (Source: NIH)
Are you genetically predisposed to develop vitiligo?
Vitiligo skin disease sometimes appears to run in families. So, it's understandable to wonder if it’s genetic. It is also comprehensible that someone with symptoms of vitiligo might want to know if they will pass them on to their children. The genes that are involved are called immune susceptibility genes.
Impact of vitiligo
People who suffer from vitiligo skin disease might go through extreme emotional stress. In severe cases, it might also lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. The following instances have also been observed:
- Vitiligo can be a reason for the non-acceptance of a matrimonial alliance.
- Developing white patches on the skin after the marriage has been grounds for divorce.
- People with white patches on the genital areas typically avoid intimacy.
- Many vitiligo patients experience social rejection.
